India’s MPV segment is a very competitive one with many companies selling cars at different price points and meeting different need. The Toyota Rumion is a rebadged version of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga that is now entering this segment but at a higher price. The question it raises is: What is its value proposition compared to other MPVs such as the Kia Carens, Maruti Suzuki XL6, and even lower priced options like the Renault Triber? You want to consider not just the price you pay at the time of purchase but also things like long term costs like fuel efficiency and resale cost. If Toyota backs the Rumion, people can relate to its reliability and service quality, but it is not yet clear whether this will make up for the price premium. Such a question prompts an allround comparison between various features, brand value, and every other aspect of owning the MPV out there.
